Semi-Truck Accident Lawyers

Have you been injured in a Truck Accident? Speak directly to an Attorney about your case today

Truck accident litigation is complex, in part because the trucking industry is subject to so many regulations. After an accident, victims may think that the only party responsible for a crash is the truck driver, especially if the driver was speeding, texting, driving under the influence, or fell asleep at the wheel. However, truck accidents are often the culmination of a number of negligent acts. Under Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, the trucking company is responsible for just about every act of their truck drivers. In some cases, the shipping company may also be liable for an accident if they did not properly secure the load. If a collision is caused by a malfunction in the brakes of a truck, the manufacturer of the truck or the company responsible for maintaining it may be liable. It is important to remember that every accident is different, and the parties that may be held responsible will vary, depending on how an accident occurs. To determine who is responsible, it is important to retain the representation of an attorney as soon as possible after an accident.
